Women or not you can still call it overconfident. Story wise it is in no way unexpected, they were not a group that magically appear because of danger - they already showed up once before they were in a dangerous situation and interacted with the MC. Meaning they were going to be close by for a time, while it was implied they were in over the heads.
Arguably the "most idiotic thing" was them discounting him as reinforcements just because he was by himself; they previously followed in his wake as he wiped clean a path into the Core Area.
Not the only factor but the school system is a giant issue in regards to this, it is party as you said: "there has been a good bit of evidence found recently that the brain isn't performing at optimum efficiency until 25". I am not saying that this is the single answer but just a single element of this issue - the Age of 24 is around the time where a person is now expected to go full independent high school ending at 18 with 4-6 possible additional schooling. A fixed schedule where you show up and spend most of your day being managed in memorization exercises. If a lunch is provided or bought then you are not even in a position where you secure your own meal either. It is a system where your only responsibility is to show up, even more so these days when they push you through even if you fail at the daily tasks.
You may even think of it as self Reliance, Responsibility, perhaps even Personhood is 'like a muscle' you only know what a persons character is when it is tested the more it is tested the more refined and solidified it becomes. A child should stop being treated purely like a "child" probably around 12yrs old.
still working backwards in age here: development of non permanent long term birth control is really lacking in prominence (devices that are not one-time use or permanent).
As for looking super young while above appropriate age, Bad Answers: the internet, methods that do not have an initial face to face like a match making services. Possibly plastic surgery to look older...
Does the person that is well above legal age just need to forever give up being in a relationship?
Does your line of reasoning hold true for women as well? I ask because growing up I remember there was a fair number of girls that would "go crazy" over guys that had childlike features or levels of intelligence, and I saw the exact same thing happen a few years ago at a high school graduation for a family member. There were a couple of girls there going on about how cute a guy was, that boy looked like he was traumatised by a thought hitting him once and never had another. I used to think 18 was a good for the cut off but there are just more and more people that give off the impression that their minds are not developed to an autonomous level even at that age...
My assumption for the arrows: red - yellow = corrosion like reaction/rejection | red - purple = deflection (like two balls colliding after being thrown) or some kind of cancelling effect | yellow - purple = efficiency loss but not a "rejection".
I base those points on the assumption that Line of Sight is an important factor.
If you have a situation where flying was commonplace then I would also assume that most of the attack methods would be base on extreme speed or distance, walls would help disrupt direct/straight attacks/movements. Nearly all things go out the window with a traditional Dragon or Eldritch Horror though...
Maybe the best way we can describe it as: An element that would normally fit but changes in various ways because it was not explain in context (of the world/situation) and loses its generic or proper meaning.
It depends where they fit in the story, and we would not know that until further along in said story. Do not be confused into thinking I do not agree with you, I do. This problem at hand is that we do not have the answer to: is that of their position/purpose in the story. I doubt it is going to be fully skipped over, it has already set a precedence that there that things are going to go through a Good/Evil 'checklist' by doing what has been done - that certainly weakens the core of the story and affects the writing negatively.
Also to elaborate further, by saying: [ I think that maybe should have laid into the "they are bad people that do bad things!" ] I expressly meant for it to be explained with less ambiguous expressions and/or descriptions; establish if they or a core group or not. They do not flesh that out or explain it leaving us at a point of not know how relevant it is, is this skippable flavor text or something else entirely?
Sadly sometimes characters need to be dehumanized for a story to work; it is not a good thing; but listening/seeing to slain Bandit #3 backstory 15 times over would destroy the majority of stories. A rough Balancing act sadly.
Their deaths/exploding were caused by them being forced to say the name when prohibited. That was one of the prohibited things in the Prohibition - a super simplified understanding is that Prohibition is a BAN on a list of item/actions. Because of magic: violating the BAN caused instant enforcement i.e. exploding, so they changed that rule/punishment because it was being used against them.
Feels like a right, big 'ol SIN when they waste a several chapters in a row for it, especially even you are caught up on reading a few things you are really liking and they all seem to do it at the same time (outside factors, I know). In this case I think that maybe should have laid into the "they are bad people that do bad things!" a bit harder... The to be rewritten future flashback really muddied the waters on that one so to speak. The fact that we more or less know that everyone he was fighting with was a hero trying to save the world, but not being truly able to understand how that came to be. It causes subversion of expectations - and I would say that one was a massive instance.
A bit of a supporting point; in Canada, there is CPAC footage I saw about the adding in more ridiculous laws to guns (the frivolous type that help nothing) and a man mention mentioned being on a 2-3 years minimum wait list to hunt a Moose (Not 100% on the animal). Our population is just too high to allow unregulated hunting, funny enough though I do not recall seeing any promotion for invasive species hunting/fishing; I believe that is generally legal all tear in most places - though I could also be absolutely wrong about that.
So hear me out on this, my biggest issue with a spherical glass bottle for a healing potion: An injured person's hand is slick with blood/sweat or weakened in some form or burned, etc., possibly they can not use their hands and have to use their forearms or even legs/feet... how the hell are they supposed to easily grip a sphere of all things! Decorative at best Deadly at the worst. I just imagine the things getting launched or rolling away.
Makes me appreciate the games and stuff that had healing gels and the like, tied bag of healing candies are seeming like a winner in my mind at the moment.
I do not understand you point of "all the detours" most everything has pretty solid reasoning and/or takes less than 24hours to resolve.
I think you have confused us the readers getting 'outside information for story purposes' with information the MC has. When the MC was free and able he confirmed that his old body was indeed swapped with Tesslon and that Tesslon had already disappeared, with his present information he has no idea where Tesslon actually is and from what I think is the timeline given arriving 2 or possibly more weeks faster would not have helped any; if it was purposely written that way... or it is just my understanding of it... I am uncertain.
I say this but it likely happens in the next chapter or two *insert depressed laugh*
So it is not really that hard to become like that....
El Salvador (I am pretty sure that was the place) is an excellent example IRL of how messy that can get - the best/worst of it is that they are basically a top tier success story. From 2022 to 2024 they went from essentially a Notional Gang territory (that is overly simplified) to a place safe enough for tourists. That being said there are still "news" people that claim the president that made those changes is hateful and has done wrong. The human condition is a rough lot in life.
